18 and 19 year olds aren't selected until all males in the 20-25 age group have been selected. So, close enough.

Most countries have abolished conscription and child soldiers, but yes some countries do still practice these things.
Selective services isn't actually conscription, they merely track who could potentially be conscripted if the need arises.
These forces are not reserves as they are not actually trained.
In the United States and most other developed countries, there is no draft. You haven't needed to make a draft card since 1973. Since then, the military has been "All-Voluntary" meaning if you want to go to war, then you may. If not, you won't.
You are only required to fill these out in the event of a war in which the amount of armed forces is not enough to sustain.

"From 1948, under the Selective Service Act, all American men between the ages of 18 and 26 were required to register with a local draft board. In case of war, the able-bodied ones among them could be drafted to serve in the military."
"The Selective Service System is an independent agency of the United States government that maintains information on those potentially subject to military conscription."
I believe even in 1973 there were those who didn't go to war because they didn't want to.
In the case of a war where the armed forces are not enough, the SSS will simply begin selecting people as per the draft procedure - there's no need to get people to fill in draft cards any more.
